The Daily bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Hawaii]) 1882-1895, 1887-04-06

The waves frequently broke over
the bows, but she rode it out we'll.
Observations showed that in the
22 hours, 33 minutes and 81 seconds
which had actually elapsed between
the time of the start and Sunday mt
noon the Coronet had sailed 24S
nautical miles.
The succeeding day was a busy
one for the sailors. Both watches
were on deck during part of the
twenty-four hours. The distance
travelled from noon on Monday to
noon Tuesday was 244.3 miles nearly
due east. Early on Tuesday morn
ing the wind rose from the northeast,
and by daylight it blew a gale. The
canvas was reduced to double
reefed mainsails and foresail. The
gale increased to sixty miles an
hour, causing an ugly cross sea.
Toward midnight wind and sea SUBJ
sided, and by Wednesday morning
the wind got round to the southwest.
The distance traversed on Tuesday
was 1875 miles and on Wednesday
PIG miles.
Mizzen Head, on the south coast
of Ireland, was sighted at 6:27 in
the morning, and Fastnet Light
bore north northwest, nine miles
away. The weather was clear and
warm. At 1857 Am. Galley Head
was abeam, and q Cork pilot boat
hove in sight, and at 1905 o'clock,
when abreast Of Seven Head, u
pilot came on board with the news
that the Coronet was the first to
arrive. Along the coast and into
the harbor scores of vessels of all
kinds were passed and all dipped
their ensigns to the winner, and the
crews of all cheered. At 1 80 p. NJ.
the Coroncts anchor was dropped
off the Cork Yacht Club House.
New York, March 27th-The
rooms of the New York Yacht Club
were well filled to-day with members
of the club, discussing the result
of the ocean race between the Coro-
net and Dauntlcss. 1t was the gen.
orally expressed opinion that the
race settles the fact of the Coronet's
greater speed and superiority of the
new style of yacht over those built
after old models. There were signs
of regret for Colt, whose yacht was
rather favorite with the club.
ARRIVAL OF THE "DAuNTLEss."
Queenstown, March 2S.-The
Dauntless passed the Old Head of
Kinsale at 3:15 o'clock this after
noon, and 1t will probably take her
two hours TO reach the finishing line
at Roche's Point. A tug left Queens
town with press correspondents to
meet the Dauntless and accompany
her to Roche's Point. The officers
of the Coronet are greatly pleased
with the result of the race, and say
it has shown the admirable qualities
in both yachts. Taking in consider
alton the difference in tonnage, the
length of the yachts and the extra
ordinary weather which prevailed
during the voyage, the Dauntless is
thought to have done as well as her
competitor. The friends OF both
yachts will be entertained by the
Royal Cork Yacht Club.
The Dauntless crossed the finish
ing lines at :45 O'Clock p. NJ. Her
actual time on the passage was six
teen days, one hour, forty-three
minutes and thirteen seconds. She
has been towed into harbor and is
now safe at anchor. All on board
the Dauntless are well, and the
yacht is in as good shape as when
she left OWLS Head. She expe-
rienced about the same weather as
the Coronet. A comparison of the
legs of the two racers indicates that
they followed about the same course.
Caldwell Colt, owner of the Daunt-
less, says that he encountered more
wind than he bargained for. For
sixteen hours his boat was obliged
to lay to. Once she scudded before
the gale under bare poles. When
last seen from the deck of the Coro-
net, on the evening of the start,
the Dauntless was steering south
east, but during the night her
course was changed northeast by
east. On March 10Th she ran into
q heavy cross sea, with strong
southeast gale. Oil was used with
good effect to break the waves, and
the yacht weathered her first storm.
Next day the sea was even more
turbulent. and it broke over the
deck in rapid succession of waves,
wrenching the yacht SO much that
she began to leak slightly. The
temperature of both air and water
on the afternoon of the 18th indi-
Gated that ice was in close proximity
and it became necessary to use great
precaution in running. At mid
night the thermometer registered
forty-four degrees and the water
thirty-tive. At 6 O'Clock on the
night of the 10th, when heavy gale
was blowing from the southwest q
smooth stretch of water was run
into and its temperature indicated
that there were icebergs near. On
the goth, 21st and 22d there were
strong gales. 1t was on the last OF
these days the Dauntless hove to.
